ah crap

i think i just screwed my front disk brake job up. the bleeder nipple goes on "top", i got the damn things on upside down. is this true???

also whats an easy way to see if brake booster is bad?? this is all on a 1999 f150 4x4 4.2l 5 speed manual, rear drum brakes.

air goes to the TOP and is bleed out of the system..... You have no way to bleed now. Air in the system will give spongy brakes... like a bad booster.... FIX the caliper first.
